so, are you familiar with this? we see this thread in new posts/new replies and get up, set timer for 5 minutes, and do some housework. when you are done with your 5 minutes come tell us what you did! do this every time you see it pop up... unless of course you are nak or purposefully ignoring the thread ;) you can start with a list and cross off if you like... that's what some prefer :rockon just keep this thread going to keep me busy!

got bread resting for 5 minute artisan bread
wrote an email that needed to go out

Agh! My house is totally overwhelming me today. I just folded and put away all the clean laundry-- except the socks. I think I'll make dh do that. I got the kids a snack...I put all the fresh baby clothes in the dryer :heart

Today's list:
-it's procrastination day which is good because I haven't been home for the past two days
-find kitchen counters
-wipe down counters
-wipe down microwave
-run dishwasher
-handwash those that don't fit
-one load of laundry
-sweep kitchen floor
-perhaps wash floor (the time has definately come)
-give the guys haircuts (DH is looking like Michael Langdon with a beard)

fold laundry (3 loads)
load and run dishwasher
do school
get kids to pick up living room floor
start on birth supply organizing
eat something

Except, now the living room floor needs to be done again. And the dishwasher need to be unloaded and reloaded. And the trash needs to be taken out, and the outside clothes need to be dried and hung up...

I made brownies. They're in the oven.
